I was about to place an order for Clarity Caps SA for the Yaolin CD3 buffer. Then i thought. I better take the cover off and make sure i have the same values in mine as other.

Replacing the four .47 blue blocks and and the two .22. I know there aint much in there.

Any other suggestions? Does yours have the same inside?

    Auricap is another. I will do mine one of these days. Remember size of the new caps comes into play here. Some physically will be too big to fit.

    Right, i did read most of the thread you posted about the upgrades in another thread. From what people were saying is that the SA Clarity Caps will fit. I guess we will find out.

    Good to know I'll tuck that away for the future.

    Isn't that just the newest version of the clarity cap?

    These came today. Looks like im going to have to stagger one of them to make them fit. Going to be tight. I would try to do it tomorrow but it looks like i may be putting up our shutters for the storm instead.

    That will be tight. Are you planning on switching the electrolytics?

    They are for the power supply right? I did not plan to.

    I dont plan to buy any more caps for anything until i start on the 12b's crossover.

    Worse case, add a spacer between the bottom plate of the buffer and the frame to give yourself some room.

    Alternately install some taller legs and bypass the bottom alltogether...
